make calls while driving (p. 83).
Turn off mobile phone while
aboard any aircraft. To prevent
accidental activation, see
(p. 48).
Do not use mobile phone near
gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting operations. Mobile phones may cause
interference with the operation
of technical installations.
The ring tone and the info tones
are amplified through the earpiece. Never hold the mobile
phone to your ear when it is ringing. Serious and permanent
damage could occur to your
hearing!
Caution! SIM card may be removed. Small parts could be
swallowed by children.
Do not exceed the mains voltage (V) specified on the power
supply unit.

Safety Information
Important
Read this information before using
your wireless handheld phone.
As this mobile phone is equipped
with a fixed (non-retractable) antenna, some paragraphs in the below text may not be applicable.
Antenna care
Use only the supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the phone and
may violate FCC regulations.
Phone operation
Normal position
Hold the phone as you would any
other telephone with the antenna
pointed up and over your shoulder.
Tips on efficient operation
For your phone to operate most effi-
ciently:
• Extend your antenna fully (if applicable).
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is in use.
Contact with the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Driving
Laws pertaining to the use of mobile
phones while driving vary significantly from state-to-state and sometimes even from locality-to-locality
within states. For example, some areas may allow persons to use their
mobile phones only if they employ a
hands-free device, and some areas
may prohibit the use of mobile
phones entirely. Accordingly, Siemens recommends that persons
check the laws for the areas in which
they drive or will be driving. For areas where the use of mobile phones
while driving is permitted, Siemens
encourages persons to use their
phones responsibly and to employ
hands-free devices. Also, if using
your phone while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving –
driving safely is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park before
making or answering a call, if driving conditions so require.
Safety Information

For vehicles equipped with Air
Bags
An air bag inflates with great force.
DO NOT place objects, including either installed or portable wireless
equipment, in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment
is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from radiofrequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturer’s
Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches (6”) be
maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to
avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology
Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• should ALWAYS keep the phone
more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is
turned ON;
• should not carry the phone in a
breast pocket;
• should use the ear opposite the
pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference;
• should turn the phone OFF immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking
place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your service
provider or your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the manufacturers of your devices to determine if
they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could
be sensitive to external RF energy.

Safety Information
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that
has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility
where posted notices so require.
Airplanes
FCC and Airline Regulations prohibit
using your phone while in the air.
Turn your phone OFF before boarding an airplane.
Check and comply with the policy of
your airline regarding the use of your
phone while the airplane is on the
ground.
Blasting areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey
all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive
atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas
could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always
clearly marked. They include: fueling
areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles
using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane); areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders; and any other area where
you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle engine.
Emergency calls (SOS)
Your wireless phone can be used to
make emergency calls. You can
make an emergency call from the
main display screen. Enter the local
emergency number such as 911 and
then press the A key
This phone, like any wireless phone,
operates using radio signals, wireless and landline networks, and userprogrammed functions. Because of
this, connections in all conditions
cannot be guaranteed. Therefore,
you should never rely solely on any
wireless phone for essential communications (for example, medical
emergencies). Remember - to make
or receive any calls, the phone must
be switched on and be used in a service area that has adequate signal
strength. Emergency calls might not
Safety Information
be possible on all wireless phone
networks or when certain network
services or phone features are in use.
Check with local service providers regarding their network features.
Always make certain that your
phone is properly charged before attempting any emergency calls. If
you allow your battery to discharge,
you will be unable to receive or make
calls, including emergency calls. You
must then wait a few minutes after
the charging begins to place any
emergency calls.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all of the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless
phone might be the only means of
communication at the scene of an
accident, therefore you should not
terminate the call until given permission to do so.

SAR (Cell Phone Designation)
RF EXPOSURE /SPECIFIC
ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
INFORMATION
THIS SIEMENS A56 PHONE MEETS
THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS.
Your cell phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy established by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government and by Health Canada. These
limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines were
developed and confirmed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for cell
phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
established by the FCC and by Health
Canada is 1.6 W/kg**. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
and by Industry Canada with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This
is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so
as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, it must be tested
and the manufacturer must certify to
the FCC and Industry Canada that it
does not exceed the limit established by each government for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the
ear and worn on the body), reported
to the FCC and available for review
by Industry Canada. The highest SAR
value for this model phone when
testest for use at the ear is
and when worn on the body
Additional information on Specific
Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found
on the Cellular Telecommunications
Internet Association (CTIA) web-site
at www.phonefacts.net or the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications
Association (CWTA) website

SAR (Cell Phone Designation)
While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions,
all Siemens products meet the
governmental requirements for safe
RF exposure.

For body worn operation, this
mobile phone has been tested
and meets FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with a
Siemens accessory designated
for this product or when used
with a carry accessory that contains no metal and that positions
the handset at least 1.5 cm/0.59
in from the body. Use of other
carry accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
* The World Health Organization
(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27,
Switzerland), on the basis of
the actual knowledge, does not
see any necessity for special
precautionary measures when
using cell phones.
